Full Job Description

## What You’ll Do Set up and operate 3- and 5-axis CNC machines, including Zimmerman and HAAS mills. Run both billet and non-traditional stock (e.g., 3D prints, foam, castings). Collaborate with engineering to provide real-time DFM feedback and drive rapid iteration. Occasionally work with LFAM 3D printers and get hands-on with hybrid manufacturing workflows. Perform post-process and in-process inspection of molds, tooling, and final parts using standard metrology tools. Move quickly between R&D prototypes and low-rate production runs. Communicate actively across engineering, composites, inspection, and operations teams. ## What We are Looking For Be awesome! Be the kind of person you want to work with! 5+ years of CNC machining experience including setup, tooling, and troubleshooting. 3+ years operating 5-axis gantry mills. Strong knowledge of G and M code and CNC operations. Familiarity with inspection tools like calipers, micrometers, and height gauges. Comfortable working in fast-paced, ambiguous environments where speed matters. Willingness to learn new machines, processes, and tech on the fly. Ability to lift 50 lbs and stand for long periods of time. ## Bonus Points Background in aerospace, defense, or motorsport tooling and mold making. Experience machining from complex or non-rectangular stock (e.g. foam blocks, prints, castings). Comfortable with Siemens or HAAS controllers. Past work in both R&D/prototype and production environments. Exposure to 3D printers (any type), hybrid workflows, or additive-subtractive processes. CAM experience with Tebis, Fusion, or ESPRIT. CAD familiarity with NX, SolidWorks, or CATIA.
